They added: “The event is an extension of the hugely popular Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon, which enjoys its 34th running this year on Monday May 4th.

“The route will again showcase the city of Belfast by passing major landmarks including Belfast City Hall, Albert Clock, Titanic Quarter, Victoria Park and the murals on the Falls Road.

“The official nominated charity for the race is Marie Curie who celebrates the 50th anniversary of their Belfast Hospice. Selecting to raise money for Marie Curie will help care for even more people in their final moments, so what are you waiting for?”
